Bob :

Measuring my car from the scuttle surface either side of the scuttle
vent, to the surface of the windshield (in line with the axis of the
car), I get about 145 degrees.  (Had to eyeball the gap between the
protractor and the windshield, my short straight edge wasn't wide enough
to bridge the gap, and the long one wouldn't fit between the frames.)

>From the bottom surface of the stanchions (which is a curve, I used a
rough tangent to the center of it), to the straight portion of the
trailing edge of the stanchions, I get 125 degrees.

Hope this helps.

Anyone else care to take some measurements ?  Who knows, we might get
another category added to the judging guidelines <g>
